General AguL A SUDDEN COiWEKSIOIY. In ono of tho northern towns of Vermont, lived a young man, Daniol Bryan, a lawyor by profession. No ono possessed the confidence of his friends mora tlinn ho did, and no ono was better calculated to secure tho Rood will and friendship of oil with whom he enmo in contact. Business poured in upon him, and ho failed not to give tho utmost satisfaction. At tho ago of twenty-seven, Ilrynn took to himself a wife from among tho most favored ones of the country. Mary Fellon experienced a strange pride when she gavo her hand to tho young lawyer, and if nono envied her, many at least prayed that they might be equally fortunate. liut ere long a cloud enmo over tho sccno. Conviviality run high nmong tho members of tho bar, and liryan possessed ono of those peculiar temperaments which at length gave the body and soul up to tho demon. For three years ho followed tho social custom of tho times without neglecting much of his business : hut Anally ho sunk into tho lowest pit of degrcdation. AY hen at tho ago of five and thirty, ho had become a confirmed drunkard. Ho now neglected his clients altogether, for ho could not remain sober long enough at any timo to carry any case through court. Tho only business ho now had on hands was the collection of somo debts. On tho evening of his thirty-fifth birth-day he joined tho Washingtonians, and once more his bright genius shono out upon tho world. But it could not last long among tho examples of thoso who were his constant companions, and ho sank as rapidly as ho had rison. In ono short year from that time he was a miserable, degraded thing. Peoplo who had left notes and accounts with him to collect, called at his house, and upon inquiring of his wifo whero ho could bo fonud, she would tell them ho was away. Foor woman, they could not bear to disputo her, though they knew full well that tho remains of Daniol Bryan were prostrate upon his bedroom iloor Ono day a Mr. Vinson went to see hitn. Vinson had left notes and accounts to tho amount of several thousand dollars in tho hands of Bryan to collect, and was anxious about them. His poor wifo answered him, as usual, that her husband had gono away. " My dear madam," returned Mr. Vinson, " I know your misfortune, and I appreciate your feelings ; but I must sec your husband. Jt I can sco nun lor ono minute, i can learn nil I wish to know." Mary Bryan spoko not a word, hut with a tearful cyo turned away, nnd Mr. Vinson followed her. Ho found Bryan in a back room, stretched at full longth upon the floor, with a jug of Melford rum by his sido ! With much eltort Vinson aroused tho poor ineunntoto a state of gcmi-consciousncss, and asked him if ho had done anything about the notes and accounts which ho had left with hiin. " Yes," answered the lawyer, in a weak hiccoughing voico. " I've had tho money lor you ovor a monthj've deducted tho percentage, and ycu will find tho rest in that trunk, Mary's got tho key." . .. Mrs. Bryan was called in, tho key was nroduccd. and Mr. Vinson found his monoy, ovor four thousand and somo odd hundreds of dollars all right and safe. In his worst moments, Bryan never used for himself a singlo penny held in his trust. Hundreds there wcro who labored hard to re claim tho wanderer, but without eflcct. Years went by, and ho sank lower and lower yet his wile left him not. Her brother; a young lawyer, namcu juoscs I'euon, mien urged her to lorsaKO ner nusoanu, oi me san.u time offering her a corafortablo homo beneath his own roof, but sho would not listen. At length all hopo was gived up. Week after week would tho fallen man bo drunk on tho floor, and not a day of real sobriety marked his course. I doubt if such another caso was known. Ho was too low for conviviality, for thoso with whom ho would have associated would not drink with him. All alone, in his office and chamber, he still continued to drink indeed, his very life seemed tho offspring of his judgment. In early spring, Moses r eiton naa a can to go to Ohio. Bcforo ho sot out again ho visi- I T.i- tca his sister, no oncrcu w tano ner wuu him, but sho would not go. " But why stay hero ? " urged tho brother. " You arb all faded away, and disease is upon you. Why should you live with such a brute ? " " Hush, Moses. Speak not," answered the wife, keeping back hor tears, " I will notlcavo hira now, but he will soon lcavo mo, he cannot live much longer." At that moment Daniel entered tho apartment. Ho had his hat on, and his jug in his hand. "Ah, Moses, how ore yo ?" ho gasped, for ho could not speak plainly. Tho visitor looked at "him for a few moments in silence Then as his features assumed a cold, stern expression, ho said in a strong emphasized tone : " Daniel Bryan.I have been your best friend, but one. My sister is an angel but mated with a demond. I have loved you, Daniel, as I nover loved man before ; you were noblo, generous and kind ; but I hate you now, for you are a perfect devil incarnato. Look at that woman. Sho is my sister she might now be living with mo in comfort, only she will not do it while you are alive ; yet when you die she will como to me. Thus do I pray that God will soon give her joys to my keeping. Xow, Daniel, I do sincerely hope that the first intelligence which reaches me from my native place in my new homo, may be Oiat you are dead I " Brvan gazed upon tho speaker somo mo ments without speaking. "Moses," he at length said, "you aro not in earnest." "As true as Hoavon, Daniel, I am. When I hear that you aro dead, I shall be happy, ond not till then so go on. Fill your jug, ond " " Stop moscs I can reform." " You cannot It is beyond your power. You have had inducements enough to rcorm half the sinners in creation, and yet you are now lower than ever before. Go and die, sir, as soon as you can, for the moment that seas you thus,shall not nina me among ine mourn era. Bryan's eyes flashed, and ho drew himself proudly ud. "Go." he said, with a tone of the old powerful sarcasm that bad so often electrified a jury, "go to Ohio, and I'll send you news. Go. sir. nnd watch the Dost." With these words, Daniel Bryan burled bis jug into the fire place, and while yet a thou sand pieces were nying over the lloor, ne strode from the house. Mary sank fainting on the floor. Moscs bore her to bed, and then having called neighbor, he hurried away, for the stage was waiting. For a month Daniel moved over tho brink of ihe grave, but ho did not dio. " One gill of brandy will saye you," said the doctor, who saw that tho abrupt removal of stimulant from a system that had for lung years subsisted almost on nothing else, was nearly sure to prove fatal. " You cau surely take a gill and not tako any more." " Aye," gasped the poor man, tako a gill and broak my oath. Moses Fulton shall never hear that" brandy or rum killed me 1 If the want of it can kill me, then let me die ! But I won't dio I I'll live till Moscs Fclton shall eat his words." Ho did livo. An iron will conquered the messenger death had sent, and Daniel Bryan lived. For one month ho could not even walk without help. But ho had help joyful, playful help Mary helped him. A year passed away and Moses Fulton returned to Vermont. Ho entered the court houso at Burlington, and Daniel Bryan was on the floor pleading for a young man who had been indicted for forgery. Folton started with surprise Never before had Bryan looked so noblo and commanding, and nover bo-foro hud such torrents o( cloqtienco poured from his lips. Tho caso was given to the jury, and tho youth was acquitted. The succcsslul counsel turned lrom tho conrt room and met moses Fellon. They shook hands, but did not speak. When they reached a spot whero nono oth- ors could hear them Bryan'stopped. "Moses," he said, "do you remember the words you spoke to mo a year ago ? " I do Daniel." " Will you now tako them back ? Unsay them now nnd forever ? " " Yes, with all my heart." " Then I am in part repaid." "And what must bo the remainder of the payment ? " asked Moses. " I must die an honest and unperjured man. The oath that has bound me thus far was made for life." That evening Bryan was among tho happy. Koallusion was made in words to that strange scene of ono year before ; but Moses could read in both the countenances of his sister and her husband, the deep gratitude they did not speak-. And Daniol Bryan lives, ono of tho most honored men of Vermont. Fivo times has ho sat in the State Legislature : thrice in tho Senate, and once in the National Congress, and he is yet an ornament to society, declining all offers of public office, from the fact that his profession is moro lucrative ; while plenty of others want the office which ho cares not for. The FillibiiMtTs' GriitiUide to Costa Iticaiis. Tho annexed grateful effusion appears in tho Costa Bican papers with near two hun dred signatures attached : We, tho undersigned, known as tho deserters from the forces of Walker, after having become convinced that his causo was an infamous one, and that tho basest deception had been practiced upon us in tho United States to entrap us into his service, do hereby desire to make known to tho world, aud especially to the Government and people of Costa Rica, our sentiments with recant to tho manner in which wo luno beea truatcd by tho... slnccf"1 Itnnsf "a,rs ia an Mthorlwd exposition wo abandoned tho robber who deceived us, and th row ourselves upon their generosity. Inasmuch as we do not speak tho languago of the country, and cannot thereforo hold much intelligible intercourse personally with the peoplo, wo tako this opportunity of thanking heartily all thoso citizens of San Jose and elsewhere, for tho many acts of individual kindness shown us, and hope they will not think us ungrateful because at tho timo we could not express our thanks in languago. When we consider tho fact that wo came into Central America as invaders (unprovoked) and that for a long time we battled fiercely against her people, doing them much wrong and injury, and that sinco wo havo been amongst tho Costa Bicans as deserters from Walker, wo havo been treated with all tho kindness and consideration that old friends could havo expected, instead of ficrco inhumanity which wo wcro always told by Wal-kor and his infamous myrmidons, would bo perpetrated upon all of us who should fall in to their hands, we aro filled with sentiments of the deepest gratitude and esteem towards the Government and peoplo of Costa Rica, such as language can but poorly express. All we can say is, God bless and prosper tho President and people of Costa Rica ; never again under any inducements shall our hands bo raised against cithor, and when wo arrivo in our country, whero tho bounty of Costa Rica is soon to send us, our voices shall be raised loud and long in denunciations of the infamy of thoso who, from interested motives, deceived ns into an unprovoked war against a people who have returned tho ill wo havo done them with kindness and compassion, when reduced to want, humiliation and mis ery, by the above-mentioned system of infamous duplicity and false representation. Again we say God bless Costa Rica. It is our desire that this feeble expression of our sentiments should bo published in every paper in tho United States, as a warning on the one hand and advanco on the other, against future designs upon the lives and welfare of our countrymen, by infamous delusions which can result in nothing but wrong, suffering, humiliation and death. There aro now in tho country around San Jose moro than sixty of our friends and com rades omploycd by tho pooplo, and paid much higher wages than thoy pay their own peo' pie. The " Declabatios " is Illinois. The old fashioned " Declaration" docs not seem to be a popular doctrine in Illinois. We copy in illustration tho following paragraph from the Charleston (Coles Co., HI.,) Courier: On the 4th of July, ten or a dozen men col lected in a group, when Mr. Harr read tho Declaration of Independence. When he came to that place which speaks of all men having been created equal, they said it was a damn'd abolition document, and that Stephen A. Douglas was too good a Democrat to write such stuff. They walked off cursing tho abolitionists., German Princesses. The Brunswick journal announces that not less than fifty Gorman Princesses are of an age to bo married : and hence, of course, eagerly looking out in tho matrimonial market. On tho other hand, there are not moro than half a dozen continental princes who tut of au age benefitting the expectant. The Cniial Couiract Cases. Wo noticed, on Wednosday, that tho Canal Contract cases woro on trial before Judge Bates, of Franklin county. Tne caso of Mod-bury & Co. vs. tho State was taken up as a test tho contractors having an imposing array of counsel Messrs. Huntor, Swayno, Thomas Ewing, and John W. Andrews. Attorney General C. T. Wolcott appeared for the State. The caso came on before tho Court on demurer to tho Totition. The Columbus correspondent of the Gazette says of tho trial : Mr. Wolcott opened tho argument and mado theso two points : 1. That under the Constitution, tho Board of L'ublic Works hnd no right to incur tho indebtedness mentioned in tho petition. The debt is ono of those forbidden to be contracted by the fundamental law of the Stato. (1 Sec, Art. 8.) 2. That tho petition docs not state a full compliance on the part of tho Board with all tho conditions precedent required by tho act of 1815, for the lotting of the I'ubKc'Works : .iiich a statement is essential to bo averred and proved. Ho sustained his position with forco and ability. Mr. Hunter answered as to the first point. Col. Swayno answered as to tho second point. Tho Attornoy General rejoined, and received and answered questions from Ewing and tho magnates of the bar, with rare ability and forensic skill. His bearing and address thus early in tho conduct of tho case promises that ho will bo ablo to copo with the eminent " doctors in tho temple." Tho papers woro submitted. Judgo Botes has had a brief time for relaxation from arduous duties, and will adjourn Court until September, as soon as tho Grand Jury makes final report. Mr. R. M. Corwine.of Cincinnati, representing Forror, Burt & Co., and other attorneys in the other contract cases, wero in attendance.The National Democracy Divided So says tho St. Louis Intelligencer. The Washington Union's latest equestrian feat of riding two horses has proven a disastrous failure. Its article on Walker and tho Administration gives as little satisfaction in the South as it does in tho North. As a sample wo quoto from the St. Louis Intelligencer, one of the most ultra pro-slavery sheets in the Union : " The die is cast. Tho National Democratic party is rent in twain. The following telo-graphich dispatch, received from Washington City, yesterday, tells tho story : ' Tho article in tho Union, this morning, of tho views of tho Administration on that subject, and as intimated in last nights dis patch, fully sustains Gov. Walker's courso in advising tho submission of the Constitution to tho voto of the people, and defends him from Southern attacks." It will be seen from this that Mr. Buchanan distinctly assumes tho responsibility of Robt. J. Walker's acts and policy in'Kdnsas, and resolves to maintain them. This policy of Walker requires the submission of the Con stitution about to be framed, to a voto of the whole people, of Kansas, and avows that the President and his administration will oppose it unless this is done. This is simply declaring in favor of making Kansas a Free State, for tho simplest fool in tho West knows that no pro-slavery Constitution will over be adopted by the pooplo of Kansas. " So ends another chapter, and perhaps the last, in tho grand Kansas humbug, whereby tho Democratic party, professing the intensest love for the South, and tho most determined spirit in support of Southern institutions, be trayed tho cause of both, and deliberately AMilionises Kansas, and thoroby strikes the fatal, tho deadly blow at Slavory in Missouri. Smashinga Doggery by a Woman Quite a scene was enacted on Friday after noon last, at tho Irish grocery near the Railroad depot, kept by Dennis Commings. Mrs. Nash, an Irish woman, whose husband has been in the habit of procuring liquor at this doggery, had frequently notified Cummings not to give- him any. Disregarding her re peated requests, she finally told bim that if he gavo hor husband any more liquor she would smash up his establishment. On Fri day, her husband was drunk again, and hay ing satisfactory evidence that he got the liquor at Cummings, she proceeded to carry her threat into execution. A pile of brick closo at hand, supplied hor with tho necessary mis siles, and the war she piled them into his windows and bottles, was a caution to those who incur the displeasure of an injured wo man. Tho by-standers showed her fair play, and cheered her on in her work of demolition. Tho wreck wa3 complete. Every window was demolished, and tho broken glass, candies and tobacco were scattered round in pro fusion. The scene was witnessed by a large number of persons who happened to bo in the vicinity, not one of whom, as far as we can learn, condemned the woman for the act She did up the job with such earnestness and do termination as to elicit the admiration of the entire crowd. Urlana Gazette, 10rt intt. 03" In Chicago the other day a broker lost the key ofhis sate. 1 he lock, door sides, and top, and bottom of tho safe defied gunpowder and steel. Tho means of meeting his engagements wore inside the tight thing. But so much timo was lost in tho effort to open it, that tho broker could not borrow or "carry over" In the last hair hour, and his credit was ruined. A CojcrLiMEST WoBTniLi Bestowed. At tho late commencement of the Western Rosorve College, tho Degree of L. L. D. was conferred on Hon.

C irrespondoneo of the Cinsinnntl Commercial, THE STATE TGACBDItS'ASSOCIATION. Steubesvili.e, July P, 1857. The Teachers of Common Schools in Ohio havo been having a good timo in tho ancient city of Steubenvillo for two days. About two hundred teachers' convened hero yesterday to attend tho annual meeting of the Ohio Stato Teachers' Association. The meetings havo been held at Kilgour Hall, and have been numorously attended by tho citi zens, and in other respects decided local interest has been manifested in the affairs of tho Association. All tho teachers who do not prefer " life at a hotel " have been handsomo- ly cared for in privato families. The Association was called to order by the President, J. W. Androws, of Marietta. Gov. Choso, who was expected to deliver tho regular annual address, could not bo present on account of official duties at tho Capital, but had sent a letter, which Rev. Anson Smyth, the School Commissioner, read. It was re ceived with manifest interest, and was order ed to bo published. Having been sent to you yesterday, your roadors havo no doubt passed opinion upon it, and I need not dwell cither upon its topic or its merit. Prof. JohnBrainard, of Cleveland, occupied what timo was left of tho forenoon session, in a lecture on " Food." It was an interesting and practical discourse on what to eat and how to eat. The relations of food to mental and physical culture wero forcibly discussed, and many suggestions valuablo to shool teach ers woro given. In the afternoon a resolution by Prof. Brain-ard, reccommending that drawing and natural history combined bo taught in our schools, was unanimously adopted. Tho resolution was debated, not because it was opposed, but for the purpose of awakening interest in the studies it reccomends. After somo miscellaneous business the School Commissioner was called upon, nnd he spoke with vigor and interest upon education in Ohio, its prospects and its needs. Ho gave, from his observations, much information, cheering to those who are laboring for educational progress in Ohio. It had been expected that Hon. Stanley Mathews would doliver tho evening address. Mr. Mathews did not como, and President Andrews, of Marietta, addressed the Association on tho practical question : " What has been done in Ohio for schools and what should bo done ? " I cannot report tho rresident at length. He sketchod the loading events of tho rise of our graded system, Union Schools, &c, and contendod that teachers must seek to gain reputation as teachers they must bo wholo men and women competent to instruct and to discipline. At tho conclusion of tho President's address tho Association adjourned till this morning. BECOXD DAT. Tho first businoss bcforo tho Association this morning was a discussion upon the best means of ascertaining and developing tho sentiment of the people of the State, on Common School Libraries. The Chairman of tho Executive Committco called attention of tho Asso ciation to a letter in the Juno number of the Journal of Education, on this question, by W. T. Coggcshall, and wished to know whothor its author had worked out any plan of action. Mr. Coggeshall, after a few explanatory remarks, presented three resolutions : 1st. Calling for a committee of three members of tho Association, to prepare an address on tho general questions affecting Common School Libraries. 2d. Urging teachers in towns, cities and country to discuss the advantages of Libra ries th most efficient systom for tho management, and tho best means of securing cor rect representation of tho peoplo's will in the Legislature. 3d. Instructing tho President, Vice Presi dents, Secretaries and Executive Committee of tho Association to take especial chargo of awakoning of public sentiment in their towns, cities and counties. Tho resolutions wero unanimously adopted after an interesting discussion. The committee to prepare and issuo the ad dress, (appointed by the Executive Commit tee,) are W. T. Coggcsshall, of Columbus ; Lorin Andrews, President of Konyon Collcgo and Rufus King, President of the Cincinnati Shcool Board. A report from the Journal of Education was next in order. It was shown that tho Journal carried an indebtedness of about $1,300, to meet which it had resources amounting to about $"00 leaving $G00 to be provided for, Committees were appointed to arrango this deficit, and upon a call from Lorin Andrews, tho active members of tho Association camo bravely up and pledged that if they did not get subscribers equal to sums of from $10 to $100 they would pay the cash to support tho Journal. This was haridsomo, but only in the spirit which has always animated tho leading spirits of the Teacher's Association. The afternoon session was opened with a report on the Normal School at Ilopcdalo. It was not read in detail, but was ordered to bo published. The School is doing well, Ac- ' cording to a report from O. K. Jenkins, TrcaS' urcr, its prospects are flattering. . There are two vexed questions in the As sociation. One is characterized as " the code of honor," tho other as tho "6elf reporting systom" in schools. Ono requires that pupils shall report each other's delinquencies, tho other that each pupil shall report his own. Thorc is great diversity of opinion upon the justness and propriety of thoso plana for gov ernment in schools, and warm speeches have been made, at several meetings of the Associ ation. on both sides. This altcmoon an inter- esling debate was nao. i ne "cone oi nonor was laid over and tho "self reporting system" recommended. Mr. Jenkins, Treasurer of the Ootcdale (McNooley) Institute, made an appeal for funds to erect cottages on the school grounds in or I er that pupils might havo accsmmnda tions for self boarding, and for other improvements, which wcro promptly and liberally responded to.

The following arilcle is a literal translation from '.ha Cincinnati Volks Blatt, tho leading Gorman paper in Cincinnati, and a paper too that supported Morgan and Trevitt at tho last election. Bead it. Things aro working : " There once was a time when certain manifestations wcro regarded as indications of corruption in tho Democratic party, but theso manifestations aro no longer necessary to an nounce to tho world tho integrity and morality of the party ; by its own conduct it an-nouces to tho world that it is not only corrupt but rotten to tho core. If we need any proof to substantiate this position, we think the courso pursued by its Press in relation to tho Treasury Defalcation is being sufficiently atn-plo and conclusive. Notwithstanding the in contestable proofs that tho Treasury Defalca tion, or rathor embezzlement of tho public funds had its riso and progress under tho administration of tho Democratic party ; in spito of the warning which Democratic Legislatures ignored, and rofusod to consummate the necor-sary enactmonts to protect tho pioplo's monoy ; notwithstanding tho admissions of Messrs. Morgan and Modill that thoy woro well aware that Breslin was guilty of ombez.loment aad a defaulter ; notwithstanding that when examinations wore proposod, they alwaya were doclinodor frustrated by tho Democracy ; not withstanding tho incontrovertablo fact that it was Democratic officers, chiefly, who produc ed tho disorder, and caused the deficits. Un- blushingly in tho faco of all these things does tho Democratic press grow rancorous, and even Morgan's Press is venting its spleen, and is laboring soduously to fasten its own shame on tho young Republiean party ; and to im- puto more than an ordinary portion to Gov. Chaso. In all past time tho Domocrtic party has prcscntod no indications of such thorough corruption ns at the present. In other days tho reserve guard of Dimo- cracy still embodied some honesty, and did somo acts in consonance with truth and purity, but now all seems to be steeped in vileness and blows through tho samo trumpet tho deafening howls of shame. Chase is tho first Governor of Ohio who has honostly, and with a whole heart, determined to arrest, even npon tho slightest suspicions, all official misdemeanors. To him, mora than to any state official, ore praises due for having promptly interfere-! as a gcnu'no patriot, not only without regard to party affinities, but in opposition to counsel from members of his own party. And this is now to be disgraced by the meanest and vilest of motives of which actuato the human being. Tho trio, Morgan, Modill and Trevitt should hide their hoods in shame, for they were the ones who, fully aware of Brcslin's corruption yet at the samo time stood sido by sido in the campaign, and not only gave him their votes, but their influence, by which his re-election was secured ; and instead of uniting with thoso who really and earnestly desire reforms, aro now found actively engaged in fabricating tho most miserable and contemptible subtcr fuges to conceal Brcslin's villainy, and so to represent the transactions that the charge of embezzlement shall rest chiefly on Gibson's shoulders ; and they even seek to cover the unimpeachable Chase with tho basest imputa tions that were ever coined in the slime and filth of this corrupt and corrupting party. Miserably wretched must bo tho man,and des. parato indeed his condition, who uncondition ally submits to tho yoke of this party, and who voluntarily obeys its every behest whothor founded on right or wrong.

Fhe late developments relative to the man agement of the treasury of this State, nra hut a tit finish to tho scries ot fraud and plun dcrings which havo disgraced tho administra tion or tho Locoioco party in uino. rnoy show that corruption is not confined to one or two departments, but that it extended to almost every branch of the Stnte Service. Lot us'lnr a moment reicr to facta whtcu havo Do- come a part of our history. or a series or years prior to laou, tho L0- cofoco party had entire control of all branches of tho Stato government. Under tho biennial system there was no session of the Legislature in tho winter of 1851-5. .- Dunne tho year 1305 tho officers of Stato should hava conductod the affairs of government with the appropriations of the previous year. But, with a presentiment that this was their lost grab at the Treasury, these men squandered tho peoplo's monoy to an unprecedented amount. By rcferenco to the official roporta the following facts aro made manifest : . .. Tho total amount of expenditures of 18315 beyond tho appropriations, and which wore of courso totally unauthorized, was $617,373. It was in substance and reality a debt of that amount contracted by the Locofoco officials, and was thrown upon the llepublicans to pay. Our opponents had spent the money, squan dered it, stole it, used it up in various ways, and wo wcro left tho privilege of coming in and footing their bills. The details of this expenditure ore given in the message of Gov. Chase, January 5th, 1857, and in the report of the Auditor of State, and are os follows : VMurtenntt-1 of 135'5, to pay de'ols incurrei prior to Aov. Jo, louj. Superintcntlcnco and repairs of canals 8138,000 18 New Stato House 249,758 71 Deaf and Dumb Asylum ; . 3,488 0(1 Blind Asylum 2,300 fJO Columbus Lunatic Asylum 2 1.025 41 Dayton Lunatic Asylum 47.515 88 Newburgh Lunatic Asylum 48,434 47 favmcnts lor bwans Kevisod , Statutes 3,750 00 Total paid last year .$517,372 55 In addition, tho Auditor of State reports that there are from $100,000 to $120,000 of debts yet unpaid. 01 this sum, $60,000 aro claims for work upon tho State House. buch aro the sums squandered by our op ponents beyond tho amounts appropriated by tho last Locofoco Legislature. It was a lega cy bequeathed to tho new party, not in tho shape ol cash to expend, but ol debts to pay. Be it remembered, theso do not include the transactions of Breslin with brokers nnd shavers, by which he admitted a loss to the State of over $200,000, nor of tho Board of Public orks in disponing of. the contracts for re pairs. It is distinct from the ? tM,ifM which lireslin drew from County 1 rcasiirers just bcforo he wont out of oflico. And, how was this debt of $017,373 created ? Whore did the money go ? Did the Stato over get a fair consideration for it ? or was it squandered on political favorites ? Let us look into this. ' The Joint Invcstisratins Committeo on State buildings, &c, mado an elaborate examina tion into all the details, and in their report to tho Legislature and tho people, (nsse 376 they sum up tho useless expenditures, frauds and over charges as follows : Ohio Penitentiary. Defalcation $5,188 83 Duo on Books 5,559 55 Over charge on Physician 800 00 Paid Wm. Trevitt 138 00 Fraud on Corn Contract 505 00 $12,251 38 $100,000 00 , 43,229 44 Xew Slate IToiiie. Useless expenditures Frauds and overcharges $119,229 44 Newburgh Lunatic Asylum. Useless expenditures $5,500 00 Frauds and overcharges 51,642 90 $37,142 90 Dcion Lunatic Asylum. Useless expenditures $3,500 00 frauds and overcharges 55,260 05 $00,760 05 Grand total $279,383 77 This sum of over a quarter of a million of dollars, does not include the stealings, &&, in the item of $138,090.18, the excess on tho canals. Thoso desirous of tracing some of the beauties of those operations, are referred to tho report ot the Joint Investigating Committee on Public Works. This view will convey to tho mind of the intelligent reader an idea of tho condition of our Stato affairs, after six years' management by the Locofoco party. The ltepublicans found the finances of the Stato in a wretched condition. They found considerably over half a miVion of dollars of debts for which thoy wero compcllc d to provide in addition to tho ordinary current expenses of the Government. They found tho Treasury minus over $200,000 by the confession of Breslin whon he retired, nnd subsequent developments have shown that ho took from the County Treasurers in the last hours of his term, about $550,000 more than ho has ever accounted for to the people of tho Stnto. Wo present this record to the people of Ohio lor their consideration, w itn an tneso difficulties and debts thrown upon us by the men who bad squandered the money, the affairs of the Stato li ve boon well managed. and every interest carefully guarded. The total amount ot taxes levied last year, as shown by the report of the Auditor of State, was $J41,U'J7,U7 less ttun that or the year previous, and tho taxos of this season will be less than they were last year. The actual expenditures for 1858 were $380,665 71 less than tint of the year 1855, which was tho last year or Locoroco rulo although there was no Legislature in that year, whereas there was a session with all its attendant ex- , ponses in 1850,-r ': " ' ' - ' We call npon our friends in every section of tho Stato to lay those r acts raox thr bkc- ORn be lore tho voters and tax-payers of Ohio. It is essential that they should know them. The idea of calling back again to places of power and trnst, a act of men who hava so) miserably mismanaged the business and plundered the Treasury of the State, will not for a moment be tolerated by the honest and industrious masses, when tfray see and know the truth. - -' - " i : ' -,- 'm " " ,' P4T For 1860.

General AguL A SUDDEN COiWEKSIOIY. In ono of tho northern towns of Vermont, lived a young man, Daniol Bryan, a lawyor by profession. No ono possessed the confidence of his friends mora tlinn ho did, and no ono was better calculated to secure tho Rood will and friendship of oil with whom he enmo in contact. Business poured in upon him, and ho failed not to give tho utmost satisfaction. At tho ago of twenty-seven, Ilrynn took to himself a wife from among tho most favored ones of the country. Mary Fellon experienced a strange pride when she gavo her hand to tho young lawyer, and if nono envied her, many at least prayed that they might be equally fortunate. liut ere long a cloud enmo over tho sccno. Conviviality run high nmong tho members of tho bar, and liryan possessed ono of those peculiar temperaments which at length gave the body and soul up to tho demon. For three years ho followed tho social custom of tho times without neglecting much of his business : hut Anally ho sunk into tho lowest pit of degrcdation. AY hen at tho ago of five and thirty, ho had become a confirmed drunkard. Ho now neglected his clients altogether, for ho could not remain sober long enough at any timo to carry any case through court. Tho only business ho now had on hands was the collection of somo debts. On tho evening of his thirty-fifth birth-day he joined tho Washingtonians, and once more his bright genius shono out upon tho world. But it could not last long among tho examples of thoso who were his constant companions, and ho sank as rapidly as ho had rison. In ono short year from that time he was a miserable, degraded thing. Peoplo who had left notes and accounts with him to collect, called at his house, and upon inquiring of his wifo whero ho could bo fonud, she would tell them ho was away. Foor woman, they could not bear to disputo her, though they knew full well that tho remains of Daniol Bryan were prostrate upon his bedroom iloor Ono day a Mr. Vinson went to see hitn. Vinson had left notes and accounts to tho amount of several thousand dollars in tho hands of Bryan to collect, and was anxious about them. His poor wifo answered him, as usual, that her husband had gono away. " My dear madam," returned Mr. Vinson, " I know your misfortune, and I appreciate your feelings ; but I must sec your husband. Jt I can sco nun lor ono minute, i can learn nil I wish to know." Mary Bryan spoko not a word, hut with a tearful cyo turned away, nnd Mr. Vinson followed her. Ho found Bryan in a back room, stretched at full longth upon the floor, with a jug of Melford rum by his sido ! With much eltort Vinson aroused tho poor ineunntoto a state of gcmi-consciousncss, and asked him if ho had done anything about the notes and accounts which ho had left with hiin. " Yes," answered the lawyer, in a weak hiccoughing voico. " I've had tho money lor you ovor a monthj've deducted tho percentage, and ycu will find tho rest in that trunk, Mary's got tho key." . .. Mrs. Bryan was called in, tho key was nroduccd. and Mr. Vinson found his monoy, ovor four thousand and somo odd hundreds of dollars all right and safe. In his worst moments, Bryan never used for himself a singlo penny held in his trust. Hundreds there wcro who labored hard to re claim tho wanderer, but without eflcct. Years went by, and ho sank lower and lower yet his wile left him not. Her brother; a young lawyer, namcu juoscs I'euon, mien urged her to lorsaKO ner nusoanu, oi me san.u time offering her a corafortablo homo beneath his own roof, but sho would not listen. At length all hopo was gived up. Week after week would tho fallen man bo drunk on tho floor, and not a day of real sobriety marked his course. I doubt if such another caso was known. Ho was too low for conviviality, for thoso with whom ho would have associated would not drink with him. All alone, in his office and chamber, he still continued to drink indeed, his very life seemed tho offspring of his judgment. In early spring, Moses r eiton naa a can to go to Ohio. Bcforo ho sot out again ho visi- I T.i- tca his sister, no oncrcu w tano ner wuu him, but sho would not go. " But why stay hero ? " urged tho brother. " You arb all faded away, and disease is upon you. Why should you live with such a brute ? " " Hush, Moses. Speak not," answered the wife, keeping back hor tears, " I will notlcavo hira now, but he will soon lcavo mo, he cannot live much longer." At that moment Daniel entered tho apartment. Ho had his hat on, and his jug in his hand. "Ah, Moses, how ore yo ?" ho gasped, for ho could not speak plainly. Tho visitor looked at "him for a few moments in silence Then as his features assumed a cold, stern expression, ho said in a strong emphasized tone : " Daniel Bryan.I have been your best friend, but one. My sister is an angel but mated with a demond. I have loved you, Daniel, as I nover loved man before ; you were noblo, generous and kind ; but I hate you now, for you are a perfect devil incarnato. Look at that woman. Sho is my sister she might now be living with mo in comfort, only she will not do it while you are alive ; yet when you die she will como to me. Thus do I pray that God will soon give her joys to my keeping. Xow, Daniel, I do sincerely hope that the first intelligence which reaches me from my native place in my new homo, may be Oiat you are dead I " Brvan gazed upon tho speaker somo mo ments without speaking. "Moses," he at length said, "you aro not in earnest." "As true as Hoavon, Daniel, I am. When I hear that you aro dead, I shall be happy, ond not till then so go on. Fill your jug, ond " " Stop moscs I can reform." " You cannot It is beyond your power. You have had inducements enough to rcorm half the sinners in creation, and yet you are now lower than ever before. Go and die, sir, as soon as you can, for the moment that seas you thus,shall not nina me among ine mourn era. Bryan's eyes flashed, and ho drew himself proudly ud. "Go." he said, with a tone of the old powerful sarcasm that bad so often electrified a jury, "go to Ohio, and I'll send you news. Go. sir. nnd watch the Dost." With these words, Daniel Bryan burled bis jug into the fire place, and while yet a thou sand pieces were nying over the lloor, ne strode from the house. Mary sank fainting on the floor. Moscs bore her to bed, and then having called neighbor, he hurried away, for the stage was waiting. For a month Daniel moved over tho brink of ihe grave, but ho did not dio. " One gill of brandy will saye you," said the doctor, who saw that tho abrupt removal of stimulant from a system that had for lung years subsisted almost on nothing else, was nearly sure to prove fatal. " You cau surely take a gill and not tako any more." " Aye," gasped the poor man, tako a gill and broak my oath. Moses Fulton shall never hear that" brandy or rum killed me 1 If the want of it can kill me, then let me die ! But I won't dio I I'll live till Moscs Fclton shall eat his words." Ho did livo. An iron will conquered the messenger death had sent, and Daniel Bryan lived. For one month ho could not even walk without help. But ho had help joyful, playful help Mary helped him. A year passed away and Moses Fulton returned to Vermont. Ho entered the court houso at Burlington, and Daniel Bryan was on the floor pleading for a young man who had been indicted for forgery. Folton started with surprise Never before had Bryan looked so noblo and commanding, and nover bo-foro hud such torrents o( cloqtienco poured from his lips. Tho caso was given to the jury, and tho youth was acquitted. The succcsslul counsel turned lrom tho conrt room and met moses Fellon. They shook hands, but did not speak. When they reached a spot whero nono oth- ors could hear them Bryan'stopped. "Moses," he said, "do you remember the words you spoke to mo a year ago ? " I do Daniel." " Will you now tako them back ? Unsay them now nnd forever ? " " Yes, with all my heart." " Then I am in part repaid." "And what must bo the remainder of the payment ? " asked Moses. " I must die an honest and unperjured man. The oath that has bound me thus far was made for life." That evening Bryan was among tho happy. Koallusion was made in words to that strange scene of ono year before ; but Moses could read in both the countenances of his sister and her husband, the deep gratitude they did not speak-. And Daniol Bryan lives, ono of tho most honored men of Vermont. Fivo times has ho sat in the State Legislature : thrice in tho Senate, and once in the National Congress, and he is yet an ornament to society, declining all offers of public office, from the fact that his profession is moro lucrative ; while plenty of others want the office which ho cares not for. The FillibiiMtTs' GriitiUide to Costa Iticaiis. Tho annexed grateful effusion appears in tho Costa Bican papers with near two hun dred signatures attached : We, tho undersigned, known as tho deserters from the forces of Walker, after having become convinced that his causo was an infamous one, and that tho basest deception had been practiced upon us in tho United States to entrap us into his service, do hereby desire to make known to tho world, aud especially to the Government and people of Costa Rica, our sentiments with recant to tho manner in which wo luno beea truatcd by tho... slnccf"1 Itnnsf "a,rs ia an Mthorlwd exposition wo abandoned tho robber who deceived us, and th row ourselves upon their generosity. Inasmuch as we do not speak tho languago of the country, and cannot thereforo hold much intelligible intercourse personally with the peoplo, wo tako this opportunity of thanking heartily all thoso citizens of San Jose and elsewhere, for tho many acts of individual kindness shown us, and hope they will not think us ungrateful because at tho timo we could not express our thanks in languago. When we consider tho fact that wo came into Central America as invaders (unprovoked) and that for a long time we battled fiercely against her people, doing them much wrong and injury, and that sinco wo havo been amongst tho Costa Bicans as deserters from Walker, wo havo been treated with all tho kindness and consideration that old friends could havo expected, instead of ficrco inhumanity which wo wcro always told by Wal-kor and his infamous myrmidons, would bo perpetrated upon all of us who should fall in to their hands, we aro filled with sentiments of the deepest gratitude and esteem towards the Government and peoplo of Costa Rica, such as language can but poorly express. All we can say is, God bless and prosper tho President and people of Costa Rica ; never again under any inducements shall our hands bo raised against cithor, and when wo arrivo in our country, whero tho bounty of Costa Rica is soon to send us, our voices shall be raised loud and long in denunciations of the infamy of thoso who, from interested motives, deceived ns into an unprovoked war against a people who have returned tho ill wo havo done them with kindness and compassion, when reduced to want, humiliation and mis ery, by the above-mentioned system of infamous duplicity and false representation. Again we say God bless Costa Rica. It is our desire that this feeble expression of our sentiments should bo published in every paper in tho United States, as a warning on the one hand and advanco on the other, against future designs upon the lives and welfare of our countrymen, by infamous delusions which can result in nothing but wrong, suffering, humiliation and death.

When he came to that place which speaks of all men having been created equal, they said it was a damn'd abolition document, and that Stephen A. Douglas was too good a Democrat to write such stuff.

Wo noticed, on Wednosday, that tho Canal Contract cases woro on trial before Judge Bates, of Franklin county. Tne caso of Mod-bury & Co. vs. tho State was taken up as a test tho contractors having an imposing array of counsel Messrs. Huntor, Swayno, Thomas Ewing, and John W. Andrews. Attorney General C. T. Wolcott appeared for the State. The caso came on before tho Court on demurer to tho Totition. The Columbus correspondent of the Gazette says of tho trial : Mr. Wolcott opened tho argument and mado theso two points : 1. That under the Constitution, tho Board of L'ublic Works hnd no right to incur tho indebtedness mentioned in tho petition. The debt is ono of those forbidden to be contracted by the fundamental law of the Stato. (1 Sec, Art. 8.) 2. That tho petition docs not state a full compliance on the part of tho Board with all tho conditions precedent required by tho act of 1815, for the lotting of the I'ubKc'Works : .iiich a statement is essential to bo averred and proved. Ho sustained his position with forco and ability. Mr. Hunter answered as to the first point. Col. Swayno answered as to tho second point. Tho Attornoy General rejoined, and received and answered questions from Ewing and tho magnates of the bar, with rare ability and forensic skill. His bearing and address thus early in tho conduct of tho case promises that ho will bo ablo to copo with the eminent " doctors in tho temple." Tho papers woro submitted.

The Washington Union's latest equestrian feat of riding two horses has proven a disastrous failure. Its article on Walker and tho Administration gives as little satisfaction in the South as it does in tho North. As a sample wo quoto from the St. Louis Intelligencer, one of the most ultra pro-slavery sheets in the Union : " The die is cast. Tho National Democratic party is rent in twain. The following telo-graphich dispatch, received from Washington City, yesterday, tells tho story : ' Tho article in tho Union, this morning, of tho views of tho Administration on that subject, and as intimated in last nights dis patch, fully sustains Gov. Walker's courso in advising tho submission of the Constitution to tho voto of the people, and defends him from Southern attacks." It will be seen from this that Mr. Buchanan distinctly assumes tho responsibility of Robt. J. Walker's acts and policy in'Kdnsas, and resolves to maintain them. This policy of Walker requires the submission of the Con stitution about to be framed, to a voto of the whole people, of Kansas, and avows that the President and his administration will oppose it unless this is done. This is simply declaring in favor of making Kansas a Free State, for tho simplest fool in tho West knows that no pro-slavery Constitution will over be adopted by the pooplo of Kansas. " So ends another chapter, and perhaps the last, in tho grand Kansas humbug, whereby tho Democratic party, professing the intensest love for the South, and tho most determined spirit in support of Southern institutions, be trayed tho cause of both, and deliberately AMilionises Kansas, and thoroby strikes the fatal, tho deadly blow at Slavory in Missouri. Smashinga Doggery by a Woman Quite a scene was enacted on Friday after noon last, at tho Irish grocery near the Railroad depot, kept by Dennis Commings. Mrs. Nash, an Irish woman, whose husband has been in the habit of procuring liquor at this doggery, had frequently notified Cummings not to give- him any. Disregarding her re peated requests, she finally told bim that if he gavo hor husband any more liquor she would smash up his establishment. On Fri day, her husband was drunk again, and hay ing satisfactory evidence that he got the liquor at Cummings, she proceeded to carry her threat into execution. A pile of brick closo at hand, supplied hor with tho necessary mis siles, and the war she piled them into his windows and bottles, was a caution to those who incur the displeasure of an injured wo man. Tho by-standers showed her fair play, and cheered her on in her work of demolition. Tho wreck wa3 complete. Every window was demolished, and tho broken glass, candies and tobacco were scattered round in pro fusion. The scene was witnessed by a large number of persons who happened to bo in the vicinity, not one of whom, as far as we can learn, condemned the woman for the act She did up the job with such earnestness and do termination as to elicit the admiration of the entire crowd.

C irrespondoneo of the Cinsinnntl Commercial, THE STATE TGACBDItS'ASSOCIATION. Steubesvili.e, July P, 1857. The Teachers of Common Schools in Ohio havo been having a good timo in tho ancient city of Steubenvillo for two days. About two hundred teachers' convened hero yesterday to attend tho annual meeting of the Ohio Stato Teachers' Association. The meetings havo been held at Kilgour Hall, and have been numorously attended by tho citi zens, and in other respects decided local interest has been manifested in the affairs of tho Association. All tho teachers who do not prefer " life at a hotel " have been handsomo- ly cared for in privato families. The Association was called to order by the President, J. W. Androws, of Marietta. Gov. Choso, who was expected to deliver tho regular annual address, could not bo present on account of official duties at tho Capital, but had sent a letter, which Rev. Anson Smyth, the School Commissioner, read. It was re ceived with manifest interest, and was order ed to bo published. Having been sent to you yesterday, your roadors havo no doubt passed opinion upon it, and I need not dwell cither upon its topic or its merit. Prof. JohnBrainard, of Cleveland, occupied what timo was left of tho forenoon session, in a lecture on " Food." It was an interesting and practical discourse on what to eat and how to eat. The relations of food to mental and physical culture wero forcibly discussed, and many suggestions valuablo to shool teach ers woro given. In the afternoon a resolution by Prof. Brain-ard, reccommending that drawing and natural history combined bo taught in our schools, was unanimously adopted. Tho resolution was debated, not because it was opposed, but for the purpose of awakening interest in the studies it reccomends. After somo miscellaneous business the School Commissioner was called upon, nnd he spoke with vigor and interest upon education in Ohio, its prospects and its needs. Ho gave, from his observations, much information, cheering to those who are laboring for educational progress in Ohio. It had been expected that Hon. Stanley Mathews would doliver tho evening address. Mr. Mathews did not como, and President Andrews, of Marietta, addressed the Association on tho practical question : " What has been done in Ohio for schools and what should bo done ? " I cannot report tho rresident at length. He sketchod the loading events of tho rise of our graded system, Union Schools, &c, and contendod that teachers must seek to gain reputation as teachers they must bo wholo men and women competent to instruct and to discipline. At tho conclusion of tho President's address tho Association adjourned till this morning. BECOXD DAT. Tho first businoss bcforo tho Association this morning was a discussion upon the best means of ascertaining and developing tho sentiment of the people of the State, on Common School Libraries. The Chairman of tho Executive Committco called attention of tho Asso ciation to a letter in the Juno number of the Journal of Education, on this question, by W. T. Coggcshall, and wished to know whothor its author had worked out any plan of action. Mr. Coggeshall, after a few explanatory remarks, presented three resolutions : 1st. Calling for a committee of three members of tho Association, to prepare an address on tho general questions affecting Common School Libraries. 2d. Urging teachers in towns, cities and country to discuss the advantages of Libra ries th most efficient systom for tho management, and tho best means of securing cor rect representation of tho peoplo's will in the Legislature. 3d. Instructing tho President, Vice Presi dents, Secretaries and Executive Committee of tho Association to take especial chargo of awakoning of public sentiment in their towns, cities and counties. Tho resolutions wero unanimously adopted after an interesting discussion. The committee to prepare and issuo the ad dress, (appointed by the Executive Commit tee,) are W. T. Coggcsshall, of Columbus ; Lorin Andrews, President of Konyon Collcgo and Rufus King, President of the Cincinnati Shcool Board. A report from the Journal of Education was next in order. It was shown that tho Journal carried an indebtedness of about $1,300, to meet which it had resources amounting to about $"00 leaving $G00 to be provided for, Committees were appointed to arrango this deficit, and upon a call from Lorin Andrews, tho active members of tho Association camo bravely up and pledged that if they did not get subscribers equal to sums of from $10 to $100 they would pay the cash to support tho Journal. This was haridsomo, but only in the spirit which has always animated tho leading spirits of the Teacher's Association. The afternoon session was opened with a report on the Normal School at Ilopcdalo. It was not read in detail, but was ordered to bo published. The School is doing well, Ac- ' cording to a report from O. K. Jenkins, TrcaS' urcr, its prospects are flattering. . There are two vexed questions in the As sociation. One is characterized as " the code of honor," tho other as tho "6elf reporting systom" in schools. Ono requires that pupils shall report each other's delinquencies, tho other that each pupil shall report his own. Thorc is great diversity of opinion upon the justness and propriety of thoso plana for gov ernment in schools, and warm speeches have been made, at several meetings of the Associ ation. on both sides. This altcmoon an inter- esling debate was nao. i ne "cone oi nonor was laid over and tho "self reporting system" recommended. Mr. Jenkins, Treasurer of the Ootcdale (McNooley) Institute, made an appeal for funds to erect cottages on the school grounds in or I er that pupils might havo accsmmnda tions for self boarding, and for other improvements, which wcro promptly and liberally responded to. On motion of John Hancock, Gov. Chaso was invited to deliver tho next annual address at Columbus, in Dccrmbcr next. The Executive and Financial Committees were instructed to report "items" through tho October Journal of Elimlion. On Motion of Prof. Hartshorn, of Mt. Union, Vico Presidents wero rcqu.-sted to tako an interest in County Teacher's Associations. On motion of Lorin Andrews, Judgo II. L. Whitman, of Lancaster, was nominated to deliver an address at the annual meeting, Mr. Hopley was appointed an Auditor to audit the accounts of llio Association. . After soma miscellaneous business tho Association adjourned. Yours, Turxeu. VOICE OF THE iEIi!UA! PRESS The Defalcation -Morgan, Trevitt nnd Wetl.ll brought up with a "short .turn." The following arilcle is a literal translation from '.ha Cincinnati Volks Blatt, tho leading Gorman paper in Cincinnati, and a paper too that supported Morgan and Trevitt at tho last election. Bead it. Things aro working : " There once was a time when certain manifestations wcro regarded as indications of corruption in tho Democratic party, but theso manifestations aro no longer necessary to an nounce to tho world tho integrity and morality of the party ; by its own conduct it an-nouces to tho world that it is not only corrupt but rotten to tho core. If we need any proof to substantiate this position, we think the courso pursued by its Press in relation to tho Treasury Defalcation is being sufficiently atn-plo and conclusive. Notwithstanding the in contestable proofs that tho Treasury Defalca tion, or rathor embezzlement of tho public funds had its riso and progress under tho administration of tho Democratic party ; in spito of the warning which Democratic Legislatures ignored, and rofusod to consummate the necor-sary enactmonts to protect tho pioplo's monoy ; notwithstanding tho admissions of Messrs. Morgan and Modill that thoy woro well aware that Breslin was guilty of ombez.loment aad a defaulter ; notwithstanding that when examinations wore proposod, they alwaya were doclinodor frustrated by tho Democracy ; not withstanding tho incontrovertablo fact that it was Democratic officers, chiefly, who produc ed tho disorder, and caused the deficits. Un- blushingly in tho faco of all these things does tho Democratic press grow rancorous, and even Morgan's Press is venting its spleen, and is laboring soduously to fasten its own shame on tho young Republiean party ; and to im- puto more than an ordinary portion to Gov. Chaso. In all past time tho Domocrtic party has prcscntod no indications of such thorough corruption ns at the present. In other days tho reserve guard of Dimo- cracy still embodied some honesty, and did somo acts in consonance with truth and purity, but now all seems to be steeped in vileness and blows through tho samo trumpet tho deafening howls of shame. Chase is tho first Governor of Ohio who has honostly, and with a whole heart, determined to arrest, even npon tho slightest suspicions, all official misdemeanors. To him, mora than to any state official, ore praises due for having promptly interfere-! as a gcnu'no patriot, not only without regard to party affinities, but in opposition to counsel from members of his own party. And this is now to be disgraced by the meanest and vilest of motives of which actuato the human being. Tho trio, Morgan, Modill and Trevitt should hide their hoods in shame, for they were the ones who, fully aware of Brcslin's corruption yet at the samo time stood sido by sido in the campaign, and not only gave him their votes, but their influence, by which his re-election was secured ; and instead of uniting with thoso who really and earnestly desire reforms, aro now found actively engaged in fabricating tho most miserable and contemptible subtcr fuges to conceal Brcslin's villainy, and so to represent the transactions that the charge of embezzlement shall rest chiefly on Gibson's shoulders ; and they even seek to cover the unimpeachable Chase with tho basest imputa tions that were ever coined in the slime and filth of this corrupt and corrupting party. Miserably wretched must bo tho man,and des. parato indeed his condition, who uncondition ally submits to tho yoke of this party, and who voluntarily obeys its every behest whothor founded on right or wrong.

Fhe late developments relative to the man agement of the treasury of this State, nra hut a tit finish to tho scries ot fraud and plun dcrings which havo disgraced tho administra tion or tho Locoioco party in uino. rnoy show that corruption is not confined to one or two departments, but that it extended to almost every branch of the Stnte Service. Lot us'lnr a moment reicr to facta whtcu havo Do- come a part of our history. or a series or years prior to laou, tho L0- cofoco party had entire control of all branches of tho Stato government. Under tho biennial system there was no session of the Legislature in tho winter of 1851-5. .- Dunne tho year 1305 tho officers of Stato should hava conductod the affairs of government with the appropriations of the previous year. But, with a presentiment that this was their lost grab at the Treasury, these men squandered tho peoplo's monoy to an unprecedented amount. By rcferenco to the official roporta the following facts aro made manifest : . .. Tho total amount of expenditures of 18315 beyond tho appropriations, and which wore of courso totally unauthorized, was $617,373. It was in substance and reality a debt of that amount contracted by the Locofoco officials, and was thrown upon the llepublicans to pay. Our opponents had spent the money, squan dered it, stole it, used it up in various ways, and wo wcro left tho privilege of coming in and footing their bills. The details of this expenditure ore given in the message of Gov. Chase, January 5th, 1857, and in the report of the Auditor of State, and are os follows : VMurtenntt-1 of 135'5, to pay de'ols incurrei prior to Aov. Jo, louj. Superintcntlcnco and repairs of canals 8138,000 18 New Stato House 249,758 71 Deaf and Dumb Asylum ; . 3,488 0(1 Blind Asylum 2,300 fJO Columbus Lunatic Asylum 2 1.025 41 Dayton Lunatic Asylum 47.515 88 Newburgh Lunatic Asylum 48,434 47 favmcnts lor bwans Kevisod , Statutes 3,750 00 Total paid last year .$517,372 55 In addition, tho Auditor of State reports that there are from $100,000 to $120,000 of debts yet unpaid. 01 this sum, $60,000 aro claims for work upon tho State House. buch aro the sums squandered by our op ponents beyond tho amounts appropriated by tho last Locofoco Legislature. It was a lega cy bequeathed to tho new party, not in tho shape ol cash to expend, but ol debts to pay. Be it remembered, theso do not include the transactions of Breslin with brokers nnd shavers, by which he admitted a loss to the State of over $200,000, nor of tho Board of Public orks in disponing of. the contracts for re pairs. It is distinct from the ? tM,ifM which lireslin drew from County 1 rcasiirers just bcforo he wont out of oflico. And, how was this debt of $017,373 created ? Whore did the money go ? Did the Stato over get a fair consideration for it ? or was it squandered on political favorites ? Let us look into this. ' The Joint Invcstisratins Committeo on State buildings, &c, mado an elaborate examina tion into all the details, and in their report to tho Legislature and tho people, (nsse 376 they sum up tho useless expenditures, frauds and over charges as follows : Ohio Penitentiary. Defalcation $5,188 83 Duo on Books 5,559 55 Over charge on Physician 800 00 Paid Wm. Trevitt 138 00 Fraud on Corn Contract 505 00 $12,251 38 $100,000 00 , 43,229 44 Xew Slate IToiiie.

Useless expenditures $3,500 00 frauds and overcharges 55,260 05 $00,760 05 Grand total $279,383 77 This sum of over a quarter of a million of dollars, does not include the stealings, &&, in the item of $138,090.18, the excess on tho canals. Thoso desirous of tracing some of the beauties of those operations, are referred to tho report ot the Joint Investigating Committee on Public Works. This view will convey to tho mind of the intelligent reader an idea of tho condition of our Stato affairs, after six years' management by the Locofoco party. The ltepublicans found the finances of the Stato in a wretched condition. They found considerably over half a miVion of dollars of debts for which thoy wero compcllc d to provide in addition to tho ordinary current expenses of the Government. They found tho Treasury minus over $200,000 by the confession of Breslin whon he retired, nnd subsequent developments have shown that ho took from the County Treasurers in the last hours of his term, about $550,000 more than ho has ever accounted for to the people of tho Stnto. Wo present this record to the people of Ohio lor their consideration, w itn an tneso difficulties and debts thrown upon us by the men who bad squandered the money, the affairs of the Stato li ve boon well managed. and every interest carefully guarded. The total amount ot taxes levied last year, as shown by the report of the Auditor of State, was $J41,U'J7,U7 less ttun that or the year previous, and tho taxos of this season will be less than they were last year. The actual expenditures for 1858 were $380,665 71 less than tint of the year 1855, which was tho last year or Locoroco rulo although there was no Legislature in that year, whereas there was a session with all its attendant ex- , ponses in 1850,-r ': " ' ' - ' We call npon our friends in every section of tho Stato to lay those r acts raox thr bkc- ORn be lore tho voters and tax-payers of Ohio. It is essential that they should know them. The idea of calling back again to places of power and trnst, a act of men who hava so) miserably mismanaged the business and plundered the Treasury of the State, will not for a moment be tolerated by the honest and industrious masses, when tfray see and know the truth. - -' - " i : ' -,- 'm " " ,' P4T For 1860.
